Everyone in the hyper-exalted cultural firmament of sports should be asked if they have any solidarity – verbal or financial - to offer to the family of Michael Brown as well as those on the ground in Ferguson fighting for justice. Everyone means not just black athletes. Peyton Manning, Kevin Love, Tom Brady, Mike Trout, Aaron Rodgers: this is the culture that has made you famous. If you want its blessings, then share its burdens and call for justice for Michael Brown. Either black lives matter or they dont. In other words, either the lives of your teammates matter or they dont. Its time, white athletes: take some of the damn weight.
